Edmonds school board to weigh full replacement of Westgate Elementary

What the records say

The Edmonds School District Board has scheduled action on Resolution #26-15 for its Sept. 22 meeting. The resolution would approve replacing Westgate Elementary School with a new building rather than modernizing the existing one — what the agenda calls a 'New-in-Lieu of modernization.' [S1 · Item 13]

• The board scheduled a single-reading action on Resolution #26-15 for Sept. 22, 2026.
• The resolution would approve a full replacement of Westgate Elementary instead of a modernization project.
• The item appears at 7:50 pm under New Business and contains an attachment that is not included in this source packet.
• The vote has not happened yet; this record is a pre-meeting agenda item.

Why it matters

Choosing a full replacement instead of a modernization is a much bigger undertaking. It changes how the district builds, pays for, and schedules the work, and it can affect families and neighbors near the school for years. The agenda does not state a cost or construction timeline, so those details remain unknown until the resolution itself is released. [S1 · Item 13]
